my name is nicole hartley and the co founder and ceo of sandy, her promise, which is an organization i helped launch one month after the shooting at sandy hook elementary school where my youngest son, dylan was killed. dylan was a very beautiful and joyful little boy as 6 years, and he loved to cuddle and make gigantic purple dots and eat garlic bread and carrots and red delicious apples. and he was, he was really the center of our family. he was just pure love. a lot has changed in 10 years since the sandy hook shooting a movement has been born. this is a movement that is stronger than the gun lobby. and there has been significant change at both the state and federal level and also at a behavioral level in communities where we know that we can prevent these acts of violence. if we know the signs and learn to take action to intervene, the more significant barrier that we face is apathy and hopelessness, and people thinking, nothing's going to change. this is just an inevitable part of american life. and that's a notion that i completely reject. you can't just passively be a bystander
